Time for an update (October 2011)

So I have been working on stepping over.

and stepping back.

Also working on double shuffle. I am still struggling to do right amount of steps without the book in front of me.

 This is my attempt of doing six 'steps' all in one go without music or looking at book for reference.

Apologies probably spelt the name wrong.

Been watching all the videos on youtube from clogfest 2011. Find them quite inspirational. Wish I could go to it.
Here's one of my favorites.

....new tunes

This is the extra bit. I tried dancing 2nd Scottiche to tune on DVD used for first schottiche progression.

Steamboat Hornpipe. As you can tell its only third time through I get the hang of the rhythm.

music and dance

Not just been trying the dancing...been playing the tunes as well. Noticing an improvement.

Tried Fisherman's hornpipe on fiddle...which feels quite nice to play, and I notice a 'bounce' to it.  Just wish it didn't sound so screechy.
So this is it on melodeon.

Next one to do is steamboat hornpipe. Tried playing it a while back.
